My Learning Essential
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for you
to define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you
on the process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher’s integration
of technology in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adoption,
adaptation, infusion and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and
enables quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the
learning environment are being active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-
directed.
The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Levels of Technology Integration
and the Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To
make you understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment,
explore the TIM website and learn from the many interesting videos showing technology
integration. http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/matrix.php
You will use this matrix to analyze and reflect in this episode

` My Map
To realize my Intended Learning Outcome, I will work my way through these
steps:
Step 2. Describe how technology was integrated in the lessons and how the students
were involved.
5. Focus on their non-verbal responses. Are they leaning forward showing their
interest in the lesson and in the materials? Are they looking towards the direction
of the teacher and materials? Do their actions show attentiveness, eagerness, and
understanding?
It is clearly seen in the face and reaction of the students that they were amazed at
the technology their teacher used, which is the laptop and projector, for most of
them tend to listen and focus their attention on their teacher and on the projected
power point presentation on the board.

My Analysis
Use the Technology Integration Matrix to analyze the class you observed. In what
level of technology integration do you think the teacher operated? Why?
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix provided by the book, the resource
teacher attained the following levels: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and
transformation. For the resource teacher used the technology, which are the laptop and
projector from the very beginning of her class starting from prayer and presentation of
objectives, afterwards, she let the students to manipulate and operate the technology
alone to explain some part of the lesson and instead of just merely receiving information
from the technology, the resource teacher let the students to discuss the topic by
themselves and to raise questions to their classmates which eventually, when the
classmate asked didn’t answer the question correctly, she manage to answer it. After that,
the resource teacher let the students to use the technology, which is a laptop, to make
their own “Academic Format Letter” in Microsoft Office Word” to be passed on their next
meeting.
Over-all, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give your
suggestions.
Overall, I must say that the resource teacher executes the learning resources well
and effectively for the students tend to collaborate and cooperate in her discussion and
they tend to focus their attention on the projected power point presentation projected on
the board. My only suggestion is that next time, it is more advisable to use animation on
the text that needs to get emphasized and also, use more images if possible.
My Reflections/Insights
1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and
what would you do differently? If you would teach the same lesson to the
same group of students? Why?
If I will be put in the place of the resource teacher and will teach the same
topic to the same group of students I will still be using the same technology she
used, which are laptop and projector, for the students seems to focus more on
what I am going to say if there is a projected presentation of the topic that I will
discuss. Maybe the only different thing that I will do compared to the resource
teacher is that I will use “Problem-Soling Method” for I want my students to discover
for themselves how to do or write an academic format letter, and also, I will use
“Differentiated Instruction Method” for the students’ to focus on one part of the
letter format then the group leader will explain their part in front of the class. And
for the evaluation, I will ask my students to write an academic format letter to the
principal of our school on their propose program/projects for the improvement of
our own alma matter.
My Learning Portfolio
Include here pictures/illustration of the materials used by the teacher. Put
your comments/annotations about what you observed.
The flow of the pictures showed above shows the flow of the use of the teaching
aids, from the starts up to the last part of the lesson. It is clearly seen and visible based
on this documentation that the use of laptop and projectors are effective in engaging
your student with your lesson.
